Mission Statement

East Falls Forward (EFF) is a new registered community organization with a pro-urban mission: a dedication to making East Falls a walkable, sustainable neighborhood with attractive places to eat, shop, and do business.

We seek to provide a free, inclusive, public forum for all East Falls residents and business owners. We rely on input from in-person meetings, as well as online participation, to help us support responsible residential and business development. Our goal is to fill empty storefronts with attractive places to eat and shop, while providing more basic services and amenities for residents and business owners. We seek to protect our history, our waterways, and our green spaces, while creating a diverse, walkable neighborhood for everyone to enjoy.

We believe in a transparent, inclusive, and collaborative process that allows as many voices as possible to participate in improving our community.
